Antibiotic-Resistant Staph Infection

There is a strain of bacteria that can spread easily in hospitals and long-term care facilities. We call it "staph". That's short for "Staphylococcus aureus" bacteria. Antibiotics used to kill staph easily. But some types of staph have become resistant to antibiotics. They are hard to kill. If this bacteria infects you, it can cause all kinds of problems in your body. It can even kill you.
